Anyone thought about the fact that with so many tourneys that bass are being taken from their original home, driven all the way across the lake, stressed, and then released after weigh in in a completely different part of the lake. I think, (no science here) that they would spend hours to days trying to recuperate. They would find nearest cover and sit. When do they move?, where do they move to?, do they go home or relocate?
I don’t see many dead bass on shoreline so bass anglers are doing a pretty good job of livewell management. I just say this because many of the spots I normally pick up “bigger” fish are not so great anymore. I do find bigger fish in totally random spots, often with no smaller fish around. Just a thought.
